A civil and sessions court on Monday levied a fine of Rs. 5,000 on singer and music composer Ankit Tiwari for seeking an adjournment in an alleged rape case against him.
The singer had filed for a discharge application which was to be heard on Monday, but he sought an adjournment instead. The court slated the matter for hearing on May 19. Mr. Tiwari was arrested in May 2014 for allegedly raping a woman on the promise of marriage. He was released on bail a month later.
